would admit them if they prom sed to
tell no one of their visit. They en-

things in the studio, and, on leaving, put
gold piece into Millet's hand, taking him
for a servant. Afterward, when he was

Winter Weather in Dakota.

One day last week found us fifteen miles
north of Towner, OAK, on the sharp slope
of one of those rounded hills which are
such o characteristic feature of the land
scape in the Mouse River country. Not a
cloud is in the sky, and the even, white
glow along the horizon outlines the most
distant objects with startling plainness.
The sunlight unimpeded in its flight to the
earth, is warm upon the land. The view
is glorious. A scattered grove of gnarled
oaks covers the slope, while from its base
and reaching southwark to tho distant
Mouse river, rise q succession of rounded,
grass covered Duties, with many grassy
meadow between their crests. Bands of
cattle and droves of horses are scattered
here and there, as contentedly grazing on
the rich feed as if it were leafy June in
stead of late November. But for the leaf
less trees and keen nip of the air, during
the early morning hours, there is no evil
dence that winter is here. How odd it
seems, with not q flake of snow for hum
dreds of miles around, to read from the
daily papers, now four days old, about UNI
timely SHOWS that have already fallen ON
the Atlantic coast, and advices nre that
there have already been two heavy snow
falls in the central Western States, and
farmers in the corn belt have taken up and
Decu Aec&lAnS GuciF cNttle IOt u InOuCQ past.
To one unacqnainted with this climate,
it must seem very strange that North Da-
kota yet awaits her first snowfall of the
season, and may have to wait until the
winter is fur spent. That this part of the
Territory is outside the snow belt lies in
the fact, Us shown by the Signal Service
records, that storm paths during late au-
tumn and winter lie far south of the forty
eighth parallel Occasionally one, even
this early in the season, strays up this
way, but the air is SO dry that but little
snow can be squeezed out of it, Not until
the first days of March bring increased
heat and moisture, does the snow fall to
any depth. These facts have an important
influence in lengthening the grazing sea-
son, as exemplitied by the scene before
me. notice that Mouse River ranchmen
do not find it profitable 10 use sleighs-the
light snowfalls are too quickly cut away by
the Chinook" winds, which, with their
warm breath, blow for days at time out
here during the winter months.

NoTH1NG seems too big for the pres
ent age, for we are continually being
startled with something new and some
thing immense, which has either been
just completed or is about to be carried
out, or at any rate, is projected or pro-
posed. Within the last few weeks three
new schemes have been either COM
menced or suggested in Switzerland,
Greece, and Canada. The first-named
scheme, in Switzerland, is proposed by
an Italian engineer named Agudio of
Milan, for making way through the
Simplon, which he declares he can do
by tunnel Of only 10000 feet, the
traction and hauling being done by
hydraulic power. He says that by this
means from 5000 to 1000 tons of goods
could be safely transported without any
breaking up or trans-shipment of trains,
while the cost of the whole proceeding
would be only $4,000, 900 francs. Num-
Der two project consists of the bold but
practical scheme of draining the Lake
of Copais near Thebes, in Beotia, by
which an area of 100 square miles will
be added to the territory of Greece.
The acquiring of SO very large piece
of land, which may be put to useful
purposes, though undoubtedly one of
vast importance, is not the only object
intended to be effected by the proposal
the other being the destruction OF
one of the greatest fever-producing
places in the country. Number three
project proposes to connect Prince Ed
ward Island with the Canadian main
land by means of q submarine railway
tunnel, by which all communication can
be kept open with the inhabitants of
the island during the winter, circum-
stance at present almost impossible.

1.-THE late Charles Francis Adams. !"
says q correspondent, twas proud of the
fact that he was the son and grandson
OF President. He thought, however,
that he had some of the elements of
greatness in him apart from his an
cestors, and I am told that he grew
very tired of being introduced as the
grandson of John Adams and the son of
the great John Quincy Adams. He ex-
pressed this feeling at political meet
ing at which he once spoke in connec-
ton with Hannibal Hamlin and other
prominent men. Mr.. Adams was the
last speaker. The others referred to
him in their speeches, and nearly every
one dilated on the fact that they had
with them that day the son and grand
son of President. When at last
Charles Francis Adams was introduced,
the Chairman of the meeting said: I
am very glad that 1 can introduce to
you to-day the grandson of President
John Adams and the son of the great
John Quincy Adams Charles Francis
Adams opened his speech by saying:
The fact of my ancestry has been re-
ferred to several times during the even
ing. I am proud of my father and
grandfather, but wish it distinctly
understood that I appear before you as
myself, and not as the son and grandson
of any man. He then went on and
made one OF the most powerful speeches
of the day."

MARY ROBINSON. lO0-year-old col
ored woman, was found dead in Hous.
ton, Tex, the other day. She lived
near to an old colored man. While
boards only divided the two frail tene-
ments, IN entrance from one cabin to
the other could not be made except
over rustic bridge that crossed o
gully, which sometimes ragged under the
influence of the elements. To pass
from Mrs. Robinson's house the bridge
had to be crossed. The old wcman's
neighborhood was all right until he
learned that her corpse was to be taken
over the bridge. Although he had q
high regard for her while living, he
made loud protest and violently OBJ
jected. The pall-bearers were inexor-
able, and said they were determined to
carry the dead body over the bridge if
death stood on the other side with q
new scythe. To counteract this power,
the old ilarkey went to Justice Railey
and laid the case before him, and said
that he had lived in the little cabin on
the edge of the gully for long time,
and always slept in security even if the
storms ragged, but he felt sure if the
corpse of Mary Robinson crossed over
the bridge That passed by his door he
would be hoodooed.
